"Dad, you're scaring me, what's going on?" He hated hearing his Dad's voice like this, it reminded him of when his Mom died, and the dread in the pit of his stomach was there just like it had been all those years ago.

"It's Carole" The two words Kurt had hoped he would never have his Dad say in this moment, he felt physically sick.

"Oh god, Dad, please ju-just tell me" He felt the tears streaming down his face, his heart was breaking at the thought of life without Carole, having to deal with his father's heart breaking again, he knew his father couldn't come back from losing another wife. Just as Kurt's thoughts started to go a bit crazy is Dad spoke again.

"Kurt, she, well she, it wasn't looking good to say the least, but we've gone today, and Kurt, the chemo, it's working, it's actually working buddy!" His father gave a little laugh, clearly relieved at the thought of the chemo working on his wife. Kurt had never been so relieved in all his life, his head felt light and he had to brace himself against the kitchen table to stop his knees from buckling at the news, he wasn't used to having good medical news, it was always bad.

"Oh my god! That's amazing Dad! I'm so happy!"

"I know, buddy, I know, I mean she's not out of the woods yet, but it's looking good, the main thing it means though is that we can come and see you, visit those gorgeous little girls and my little man.

"I would love that Dad! They all really want to meet you! Elijah misses you more than anything, he keeps asking for you! When is the soonest you can come?" He felt his voice getting higher and higher in excitement, it was then that he noticed Blaine resting on the door jamb, smile resting on his lips, an eyebrow quirked in questioning.

"Woah buddy, slow down a bit there! How about we come out next week? We'll stay for a few days, we can stay in a hotel if it's too much trouble.."

"Don't be silly Dad! You can stay with us, we have a spare room! I can't wait to see you, let you meet my little girls, god I am already planning what we can do!" Kurt heard his Dad chuckle at the other end of the phone, he felt Blaine wrap his arms around his waist, he jumped slightly having not heard him move from the doorway.

"Okay, well I'd better go, I'll call you in the next couple of days to arrange, I love you Kurt, tell Blaine I said Hi."

"I love you too Dad, say Hi to Carole for me, and I can't wait to see you"

Hanging up the phone he leaned back into Blaine's embrace, loving the feeling of his husbands solid chest behind him.

"Carole's going to be okay Blaine!" Instead of responding verbally, Blaine spun Kurt around in his arms planting a solid kiss on his lips and taking him into his arms.

"That's amazing, baby! I take it they are coming to visit us? To meet the girls?" Kurt smiled widely at Blaine.

"Mm, Next week! My Dad said he would call me in the next couple of days with their plans, do you think you could get some time off to spend with them?" He raised his head to look into Blaine's eyes, hopeful that his husband would agree to spend some time with his family.

"I'll try my best babe, after having so much time off for the twins, it could be tricky, but I'll do my best, I promise."

"Good! Well, there is a bottle of wine here that needs drinking, so how about you go put a movie in and I'll grab some snacks?" Blaine kissed him again before rushing off the living room. Kurt grabbed some bags of chips and the bottle of wine and glasses he had already got out. Making his way to the living room he settled down with Blaine on the couch, curling tightly into his side.

Just as the movie was reaching its climax, the baby monitor came to life indicating one of their children was in need of something, Kurt sighed loudly before hauling himself and Blaine up,

"You see to Elijah, I'll check the girls"

They made their way into the respective rooms, Kurt saw Elijah was sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes tiredly, his sisters cries quite clearly waking him up.

"Hey, Buddy, your sisters are making a lot of noise huh?" Elijah nodded sleepily at his Daddy. Kurt moved over to his sons bed, lying down next to Elijah, Elijah immediately cuddling into his Daddy's chest, he had recently started sucking his thumb, and as he cuddled into Kurt's chest his thumb was securely in his mouth, sucking gently.

Kurt stroked his sons hair softly, noticing that Blaine had managed to stop the girls crying, meaning the house was once again silent, just the soft sounds of Elijah and Kurt's breathing could be heard.

"Try to sleep Elijah, sweetheart, Daddy is here"

"Lub you Daddy"

"I love you too Elijah"

Kurt waited until he heard Elijah's breathing settle before getting out of his bed and making his way to the nursery. He stood at the door watching as Blaine laid Imogen back down in her crib, Ava was already fast asleep. Blaine stepped quietly towards the door and gave Kurt a peck on the cheek.

"Why don't we go get into our bed, we've had an emotional day and I want nothing more than to make love to you, I want to feel close to you right now" Blaine nodded in affirmation, taking Kurt's hand and leading him towards their bedroom.
